Unit5TextITheRealTruthaboutLiesTheRealTruthaboutLiesRevisionLeadinginBackgroundInformationGlobalReadingDetailedReadingConclusionAssignmentUnit5RevisionTranslatethefollowingsentences:大约三年前,我和妻子对大城市嘈杂生活感到厌倦,所以决定在一个小镇落户,那里平静宜人。现在我们生活很好,因为这地方方便,办点事步行去就行。我经常四处走走,心情好时候,在咖啡店歇一下,喝杯饮料,或在洲际戏院停住脚步,看一场戏。不过有些人似乎不了解我怪癖行为。我喜欢尽可能地多走路,这是大部分人所不能了解,因为他们太过于依赖车子了。有时,几乎到了荒谬滑稽程度,即便只是10分钟步行旅程,他们依然喜欢驾车。Revision7.有时,我在独自散步,他们会问我是否需要搭车。8.但我认为,车子使腿脚功效退化。9.在这个社会里,多数人占据主导地位。10.我意识到,我或许是唯一主张短距离步行人,这也就是我不时地碰到麻烦原因。11.比如:许多商店把门前清理出来,只容用户停车,店家关心只是商业成功。LeadinginQuestion:Whatcanyoulearnfromtheplaylet?ProverbsTranslation—LieAnecessarylieisharmless.必要谎言无妨。Lieshaveshortlegs.谎言总是站不住脚。Aboasterandaliararecousins-german(亲堂兄、弟、姐、妹).吹牛与说谎本是同宗。Agreattalkerisagreatliar.最会夸夸其谈人也最会说谎.Aliarisnotbelievedwhenhespeaksthetruth.骗子说真话,也没人相信。
